Fig. 2 is the flow chart that illustrates according to basic skills of the present invention.
In step 201, air station identification is for being carried out the needs that radio resource is measured by second air station, although do not exist permission to carry out the related of direct radio communication between described between described air station and second air station.
In step 202, air station is initiated for carried out the request that radio resource is measured by second air station.
Identification do not allow to carry out the related of direct radio communication owing between air station and second air station, do not exist, so can not be considered as second air station current equity side of the direct radio communication of equity based on first air station for the needs of being measured by second air station.But, identification by second air station carry out needs that radio resource measures for example can based on from described air station itself performed or the 3rd air station performed and report to the result that the radio resource of described air station measures and discern second air station.In other embodiments of the invention, identification for example can be based on the air station of second air station being thought described air station had before been carried out direct radio communication with it for the needs that carried out the radio resource measurement by second air station.
In many embodiment of the present invention, the request that radio resource is measured is transmitted into second air station by first air station via at least one intermediate wireless station.In these embodiments, the request that radio resource is measured is transparent at least one intermediate wireless station preferably, that is, at least one intermediate wireless station does not know that it has transmitted the request that radio resource is measured to second air station.
In different embodiments of the invention, described air station for example can be portable or travelling carriage, but it also can be the air station of serving as access point.Similarly, second air station for example can be portable or travelling carriage, but it also can be the air station of serving as access point.
Fig. 3 is the flow chart that is shown in further detail according to first example embodiment of the inventive method.Use first air station, for example the STA1 assessment among current Fig. 1 related with the first access point AP1 among Fig. 1 it whether should change into another access point, for example Fig. 1 in the related sample situation of the second access point AP2 this first example embodiment is described.
In step 301, the first air station STA1 detects the needs for other related access point of assessment.This can by for example make from the first access point AP1, promptly the signal quality of the current access point related with it of the first air station STA1 is reduced to certain below the threshold value and/or make traffic load among the first access point AP1 surpass certain threshold value to trigger.
In step 302, the first air station STA1 discerns other access point, promptly first air station is current not related with it but can therefrom receive the access point of transmission in its current location.When execution in step 302, the first air station STA1 can use initiatively or drive sweep.Air station can scan all IEEE 802.11 channels, perhaps only scans those listed channels from the AP channel reporting that the first access point AP1 receives.In this sample situation, in step 302, the first air station STA1 discerns the second access point AP2 thus.
In step 303, the first air station STA1 is to initiating radio resource measurement request at all access points of step 302 identification.The measurement of asking for example can be the report of basic report or channel load.Usually launch IEEE 802.11k by IEEE 802.11 management frames and measure request.But, because radio resource measurement request must be transmitted into the access point of being discerned via the first access point AP1, so can not use common IEEE 802.11 management frames to transmit radio resource measurement request.Be included in it has been specified in new data frame subtype, the Frame as " management frames " but will measure request (being the frame part of corresponding IEEE 802.11k radio resource measurement request management frames).This makes it possible to use " 3 address " form of IEEE 802.11 Frames to be transmitted into the access point of being discerned via the first access point AP1 request of will measuring from the first air station STA1.Under current sample situation, the first air station STA1 is transmitted into access point AP2 via the first access point AP1 with radio resource measurement request thus.
In step 304, the first air station STA1 responds the measurement request of initiating in step 303 and receives measurement result.Therefore, under current sample situation, the first air station STA1 receives measurement result via the first access point AP1 from the second access point AP2.Even can by the mode similar to the request of measuring with have new data frame subtype, as the Frame of " management frames " and " 3 address " form of IEEE 802.11 Frames, transmit measurement result.
In step 305, the first air station STA1 judges whether wish to change association.Therefore, under this sample situation, the first air station STA1 compares radio, business and the ability characteristics of the first access point AP1 and the second access point AP2.For example, respectively according to the signal to noise ratio snr of the estimation of the first access point AP1 and the second access point AP2 1And SNR 2, the report traffic load rho 1And rho 2And maximum supporting rate R Max1And R Max2, effective speed R EffCan be calculated as:
R Eff AP=max{BW*log2 (1+SNR AP/ k), R MaxAP* (1-rho AP), for AP=1,2
BW is system bandwidth (being approximately 20MHz for 802.11) in the formula, and k realizes margin constant.K=1 is set produces well-known shannon capacity formula, it is as the upper limit.Therefore, k reflected with idealized system and compared, and needs big what SNR just to reach certain bit rate in reality system.The representative value of k is 2-4 times or 3-6dB.
R with the related first access point AP1 Eff1R with the related second access point AP2 Eff2Compare.If R Eff2<=R Eff1, then the first air station STA1 should keep related with the first access point AP1 (is alternative "No" in step 305).If R Eff2>R Eff1Wish that then the first air station STA1 changes to the second access point AP2 (is alternative "Yes" in step 305) with its association from the first access point AP1, and in step 306, according to IEEE 802.11 associated program again, the first air station STA1 correspondingly initiates the change of its association from the first access point AP1 to the second access point AP2.
Under the situation of several other access points of step 302 identification, if judge whether to wish to change related and find to wish to change association then judge when changing to which access point in step 305, calculate and consider the effective speed R of other access point that institute discerns to some extent usually Eff
Fig. 4 A is the block diagram that schematically illustrates first example embodiment of the air station 400 that is used to realize method shown in Figure 3 according to the present invention.
Air station 400 comprises reflector 401 and receiver 402, and the two all can be operationally connected to the digital data processing circuit of taking programmable processor 403 forms.Reflector 401 is suitable for launching the signal that comprises radio resource measurement requests/results and other Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit according to IEEE 802.11 standards, and receiver 402 is suitable for receiving described signal.The operation of processor 403 controls and coordinates transmission device 401 and receiver 402.Receiver 402 also is adapted to pass through to receive radio signals and analyze institute alternately with processor 403 and receives radio signals, and carries out different radio resources and measures.Processor is served as and is used for (processing of the step 301-302 by execution graph 3) identification for by not existing the second related air station that allows direct communication to carry out the identification component of the needs that radio resource measures with it by being programmed for especially, and serves as to be used to respond and identify the described needs of measuring for radio resource and initiate initiation parts for the request (step 303 of Fig. 3) of being carried out the radio resource measurement by described second air station.Fig. 4 B schematically illustrates the logic diagram of air station 400, and described identification component 411 can be operationally connected to described initiation parts 412 shown in it.

In step 501, the first air station STA1 detects for the needs of data passes being given the second air station STA2.Before Data transmission, the first air station STA1 determines whether to wish to use IEEE 802.11e direct link to create a mechanism Data transmission.For example thinking direct link communication than via the communication of the first access point AP1 when more effective (need still less power, high bit rate etc. is provided more), it may be desirable using air station STA1 to communicate by letter with the direct link between the STA2.When the communication performance between the first air station STA1 and the first access point AP1 is poorer than predetermined threshold (for example at power, can keep aspect such as bit rate), for example can triggers for the investigation direct link communication and whether preferably judge.
In step 502, the first air station STA1 carries out frame report radio resource and measures.
In step 503, the result that the report of the first air station STA1 analysis frame is measured.
If measurement result does not comprise the relevant signal quality data of transmission of carrying out with the second air station STA2, perhaps described signal quality data hints that the direct communication between first and second air station is not preferred (is alternative "No" in step 503) for the communication via the first access point AP1, then in step 504, the first air station STA1 is delivered to the second air station STA2 with data via the first access point AP1.
If measurement result comprises the relevant signal quality data of transmission of carrying out with the second air station STA2, and described signal quality data hints that the direct radio communication between first and second air station is preferred (is alternative "Yes" in step 503), promptly is estimated as better performance (for example need still less transmitting power, high bit rate etc. is provided more) is provided for the communication via the first access point AP1, then in step 505, the first air station STA1 initiates to carry out the request that frame report radio resource is measured by the second air station STA2.Therefore, the first air station STA1 prepares to carry out the request that frame report radio resource is measured by the second air station STA2.By to first example embodiment in similar mode, to measure request (being the frame part of corresponding IEEE 802.11k radio resource measurement request management frames) and be included in it has been specified in new data frame subtype, the Frame as " management frames ", and use " 3 address " forms of IEEE 802.11 Frames to measure and ask to be transmitted into the second air station STA2.
In step 506, receive measurement result from the second air station STA2 via the first access point AP1.Even can by the mode similar to the request of measuring with have new data frame subtype, as the Frame of " management frames " and " 3 address " form of IEEE 802.11 Frames, the transmission measurement result.
In step 507, the first air station STA1 analyzes the measurement result that is received.
If measurement result does not comprise the relevant signal quality data of transmission of carrying out with the first air station STA1, perhaps described signal quality data hints that the direct communication between first and second air station is not preferred (is alternative "No" in step 507) for the communication via the first access point AP1, then in step 504, the first air station STA1 passes to the second air station STA2 with data via the first access point AP1.
If it is preferred (is alternative "Yes" in step 507) that the signal quality data that the transmission of carrying out with the first air station STA1 is relevant hints the direct radio communication between first and second air station, then in step 508, create a mechanism according to IEEE 802.11e direct link, the first air station STA1 initiates to set up direct radio communication with the second air station STA2.
In step 509, the direct Radio Communications Link that the first air station STA1 passes through to be set up passes to the second air station STA2 with real data.
Alternative as the trial of the direct link that is initiated to the second air station STA2 when having the data that it need pass to the second air station STA2 at the first air station STA1, can by for (to and/or from) between the first air station STA1 and the second air station STA2 prediction of Data transmission need trigger the trial of initiating direct link in the future.For example, can there be a kind of like this prediction needs in the future for the interconnection of set-top box and one or more television sets/displays.Therefore, according to this alternative, can need trigger step 502-508 by prediction communication in the future.
For can be how between air station that the request radio resource is measured and the air station of serving described request via one or more intermediate wireless station transmission measurement request/reports, have several alternatives.Not that management frames is specified 802.11 Frame subtypes, but can use the escape subtype of another field with definition content type.Another alternative is IEEE802.11k to be measured request/report be encapsulated in IEEE 802.11 Frames, and specifies the expectation recipient who makes measurement request/report can discriminating measurement request/report and the special-purpose EtherType of normal data frame.Another alternative be at first via one or more intermediate wireless station in the air station of request radio resource measurement request and serve between the air station of described request and set up the tunnel, the emission measurement request via described tunnel/report then.
In first example embodiment according to above disclosed air station of the present invention, described identification component 411 and initiation parts 412 are realized by the digital data processing circuit of taking conventional programmable processor form.But in other embodiments, described parts 411-412 can realize by any digital data processing circuit (for example ASIC, discrete logic circuitry etc.) that can carry out the processing related with described parts 411-412.The programmable device of carrying out processing according to the present invention can be exclusively used in this task, perhaps also is used for the processing relevant with other task.
